Dear beloved brothers and sisters,

An awesome scripture that our
Mission President stated in his letter was this: "And now, my beloved son,
notwithstanding their hardness, let us labor diligently; for if we should cease
to labor,we should be brought under condemnation; for we have a labor to
perform whilst in this tabernacle of clay, that we may conquer the enemy of all
righteousness, and rest our souls in the kingdom of God." I thought it was
a great scripture to have as my theme for the rest of my mission, and of course
the mission of my life that follows this one, because you are never released as
a member, only set apart when you are baptized - to declare the gospel to the
ends of the earth in the sphere of influence you have, or the sphere of
influence God is expecting you to develop. Lots of missionary work in this
life! It is good though because of the incomprehensible joy that follows. And
the efforts can be forever recorded because of those of God's children that
enter the kingdom with the missionary work, they enter for eternity.
